Incredible 10 Day Annapurna Circuit Trek
Comments: I recently completed a 10-day Annapurna Circuit trek with Harry as my guide, and I can honestly say it was one of the most memorable and rewarding experiences of my life — all thanks to him. Harry is an incredibly supportive and attentive guide. There were moments on the trail where I didn’t even realize I had leeches in my shoes, and he would notice instantly and take care of it without hesitation. He always made me feel safe, cared for, and protected throughout the journey. What I appreciated most was how relaxed and adaptable he was — he walked completely at my pace, never rushing or pushing me beyond my limits. He constantly checked in to make sure I was comfortable and able to continue, which made the whole experience feel stress-free and truly enjoyable. Plus, Harry knows all the best rooftop guesthouses along the trail! We stayed in some of the most scenic and cozy spots with stunning views — it made the evenings just as special as the days of hiking. He’s super chill, easy to talk to, and clearly very experienced. If you’re looking for a guide who is both professional and personable, I couldn’t recommend Harry more. Thank you, Harry, for such an unforgettable trek!

Amazing trekking experience
Comments: Hari is the most amazing guide and always goes above and beyond. It was a pleasure to hike the Annapurna Circuit with him. He is so knowledgeable about the mountains and always has interesting facts about the area. His English is brilliant and we had many lovely conversations. He is always looking out for you and if at any point you feel unwell he is quick to offer help, and is prepared for anything! I hope that we can trek again together in the future:
